inanimate/packer-ansible repository overview

⁠Docker-packer-ansible

This image aims to provide a usable packer image with ansible slipstreamed inside for easy utilization of Ansible Local/Remote builders!

A few notes:

• I've based off the most official Packer image, hashicorp/packer
• This utilizes Alpine Linux which means its more nimble ;)
• The entrypoint has been reset to the Docker default /bin/sh/ -c so this image is more standardized for things like gitlab-runner or other application.
• I'll maintain tags which specify both packer+ansible versions, although I will only update this as I need to for myself and my uses. Pull Requests are very welcome and will be responded to as quickly as possible!

⁠Example

Given you bind mount a directory ami_build which has your packer.json and related ansible scripts, something like this should work.

docker run -v /home/user/ami_build:/build -ti -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY=blah
-e AWS_SECRET_KEY=blah inanimate/packer-ansible "packer build packer.json"
